f9488a8cf8 Solving the remaining 2 center pieces: the best way to solve the remaining 2 pieces is by repositioning 1 piece at a time into the top layer, using the elevator principle: Solution: [ r' F r ] (If you forgot, we cannot just make an [r] move, because there are red center pieces to preserve on the bottom) Explanation: we'll make an r' move (taking down the "elevator"), then we'll make an F move to upload the orange piece into it, finally we'll make an r move to upload the orange center piece into the solved position. After solving all 8 edge blocks on the top/bottom faces, continue to the last four: Solving the last 4 edge blocks: Solving the last 4 edge blocks is a bit trickier, however very short. The 3rd center block: we can choose any of the remaining four colors to be the third block to solve. Then just perform the corresponding algorithm [ d R U R' d' ] , and both pieces will pair-up and store on the top face. Hold the cube in your hands with the white and yellow centres facing right and left. bigcubes.com.

Now we'll make an F move to align both pieces on the right side of front face. Some pieces are switched or oriented in the wrong way. In the first 3 moves (first brackets) we move around the edge piece at the bottom into the "ideal" case where they are both on the side faces with different colors on the F face, then just solving it the way discussed above (it's the same algorithm, just on the left side- L instead of R) Now all 4 edge blocks on top are formed, we'll continue to the next ones: Solving 5th-8th edge blocks: Flip the cube upside down so all the paired-up edge pieces will be on the bottom layer. The interesting about this twisty puzzle is that can be used as a 2x2x2 if we dont rotate the outer layers and like a 3x3x3 if we rotate only the outer layers. Then using the R move the formed edge-block will move upwards into the top layer. (Rr)2 B2 U2 (Ll) U2 (Rr)' U2 (Rr) U2 F2 (Rr) F2 (Ll)' B2 (Rr)2performed as: [(Rr) (Ll)] U2 x U2 (Ll) U2 (Rr)' U2 (Rr) [(U') (u d' D')] L2 y' x (Rr) U2 (Rr') B2 (Rr)2. Solve the centres Lets begin the solution with the white 22 centre (marked with 6-7-10-11). 4. All green pieces are solved now, and all blue pieces are on the bottom (All center pieces are solved!) Example: Solution: [ D r2 D' r2 ] If both pieces are on the bottom: there are 2 possible cases- adjacent or diagonal to each other- Diagonal: [ r2 D/D' r2 ].
